King of Hollywood Chapter 287: New York premiere

Although everything is going well, this battle in the Holy Helmet Valley still takes at least half a month to a month. As the second most important plot, it is different from the first end of the guardian team and the battle of the strong orcs. This is a real war. The troops with less than 1,000 troops in Luohan have to defend against the attacks of nearly 10,000 orcs. The tragedy of which can be imagined. For this reason, hundreds of extras are on location during each shooting. They have to wear armor and wear weapons, and a single lens can not be completed in one shot. The efficiency is naturally not high, let alone, this is the first Adrian shooting War scene.

"I already made "Saving Private Ryan" myself." Adrian couldn't help grunting at the messy location.

Although he had tried to arrange the big scene as early as the production of "Shoushenk's Salvation", and he did it well, it did not make the scene of the prison square disappear, but the battlefield scene is another matter. Fortunately, these are also counted as expected, he has enough time to adjust slowly, so... There is no slight pressure on the problem of leaving again at the end of the month.

Who made him a miracle director? There are always entertainments that cannot be evaded, and he does not plan to evade this time. Although Adrian has no pressure, several other deputy directors can't help but sigh. As long as he leaves, the burden of shooting is all on them. If they don't do well, they will be reprimanded by Adrian, which is really depressing. However, Jackson is very excited. He is now the head of one of the groups. If Adrian leaves, his power will increase a lot, which allows him to better shoot this movie according to his own mind.

Adrian knows this too, but he doesn’t pay much attention to it. Anyway, the script is very appetizing to Jackson. It’s no big deal to give more power to play. It’s not his choice to use it properly.

This time I left New Zealand on the opposite route. I first went to London and then to New York, where I did everything I had to do before returning to Los Angeles. In fact, he could have returned directly to Los Angeles and then to New York, but since the main thing was in New York, and the casting of events over London was also in full swing, it shouldn’t have been the case without asking.

The efficiency of the cast selection of the Harry Potter crew is the same as the shooting efficiency of The Lord of the Rings, which is not high. During this time, the scope was only narrowed to a few hundred children. The main role except Emma’s Min, nothing else has been formally considered. The only thing that was determined was the twins of the Weasleys. As expected by Adrian, it was not the Phelps brothers from Birmingham, but the Odoshi brothers from Liverpool.

The twins are true redheads, and they are also lively and mischievous. It was precisely because they dared to play tricks with Columbus during the interview. It can be confirmed that if the Adrian does not intervene, the original actor may not appear except for Emma. The accidental factors and uncertainty of this kind of thing are too great.

As for Emma, ​​after confirming that she is about to appear in Hermione, she has generally become interested in her original interest.

"How do you solve this problem, Professor?" She often holds the novel and reads the above words to herself in the mirror, and sometimes she makes up some bridges by herself. .

Although Adrian only stayed in London for two days, she deliberately performed a section in front of him, and wore a Gryffindor school uniform-not the original one, Adrian specially told the crew to tailor it for her. The perfect fit, coupled with the constant waving of the prop wand, gave Emma further the temperament and characteristics of Hermione.

"You know, Ed, I screamed over there after I told Ruth about to play Hermione on the phone." Emma little said with pride, she and little Emma Story.

Adrian is very happy that she can put in, but she always feels what the little girl is planning, especially when she looks at his quirky smirk. Of course, it shouldn’t be a bad thing, so he didn’t care too much. There are more important things to deal with: rush to New York, adjust the time difference, and then participate in the film premiere.

At the end of May and early June of 1999, a super production is about to be released in the United States. This super production is not about how big the investment is and how strong the cast is, but its name is unknown in the United States. It has huge fans. It has affected the time of at least one generation. It is the best memory in the hearts of many Americans and one of the representatives of American culture.

Many film companies have postponed the schedule of their own movies because of it, and the media is no exception. It is important to know that both "Mummy" and "Sky Trap" are excellent works. Some people even suggested moving to the Christmas stalls, but there are also movies such as "Notting Hill" and "Spider-Man" in the Christmas stalls. You have to do it once or twice with yourself.

In short, at the beginning of the film’s preparation, countless fans have been eagerly looking forward to it. Now that pre-sale movie tickets are being sold, long dragons have been shot outside major cinemas, especially in New York, where the premiere is held. , The long crowd can almost go from Manhattan to that end! Such a grand occasion and such enthusiasm can only be directed by George Lucas himself. One of his space opera sequels, "Star Wars Prequel: The Threat of Spectre", is one of the sequels!

Although Kubrick’s "2001: A Space Odyssey" and Lucas’ Star Wars series are almost ten years apart, they are both masterpieces of American science fiction movies, and they have all set off a different trend. Cameron just watched " "2001: A Space Odyssey" came up with the idea of ​​making a movie.

But "2001: A Space Odyssey" is too jerky after all, although the special effects were top-notch at that time, so the space opera Star Wars series immediately won the love of most people, and it became a cultural phenomenon in the United States. Although Lucas only has so few films, and although the film academy does not wait to see him, it is not an industrial light magic, he is still one of the greatest directors in the world.

This point can be seen from the fans cheering outside the Empire Theatre in Times Square after nightfall. They can either wear Darth Vader’s helmet or carry a toy lightsaber, Either wearing the robe of the Jedi Knight, and venting their enthusiasm under the huge poster of "Threat of the Ghost", the lively scene far exceeds "The Expendables".

"I know that many film critics criticize me for not being aggressive, and the concept of the movie is still in the 70s and 80s, but the special effects are more abundant, but what about it? I don’t need to care." On the red carpet, facing the reporter's questioning, Lucas said carelessly.

As a commercial movie, "Threat of the Ghost" naturally has to arrange a media meeting. Most film critics think that the pictures and special effects are very good, but the storytelling still stays at the level of the seventies and eighties.

"Yes, George Lucas doesn't need to care about this." A voice came from behind, and Lucas turned back, then smiled and hugged the comrade.

"I thought you would be here in a while." Lucas said to Adrian with a smile.

"So how do I do, I have to share the enthusiasm of the fans, after all, I have also contributed, although very small." Adrian said half-truth.

The reporter next to him took the opportunity to ask: "I heard that you have also participated in the screenwriting work of "The Threat of Spectre", Mr. Adrian, how do you think of the critic's comments."

"I didn't participate much, I just made some comments." Adrian first corrected it and then shot Lucas a fart: "Forget those, gentlemen, as long as you remember tonight A name: Star Wars! God, waited for almost 15 years, let me appreciate it once."

Everyone around laughed, and Lucas next to him smiled, believing that most people who love this space opera series think so, but this does not stop the reporter from asking questions.

"Do you think your current "Lord of the Rings" trilogy can surpass the "Star Wars" trilogy?" one guy asked suddenly.

Unfortunately, Adrian does not eat this set: "Two completely different themes, there is no comparison. In addition, you should know a lot about the situation of "The Lord of the Rings," so today I will focus on other aspects. ."

As time went on, the media under the media began to selectively report on the production of "The Lord of the Rings". The source of the source is needless to know. Although other media hate it, they are helpless. Until now they still don't know where Adrian shot this fantasy masterpiece.

However, it will not be long before New Zealand’s studios are revealed. The reporters did not think that it would never mean, so it’s the correct way to reveal it in their own way before they find out. Maybe it will be more afterwards. Many flies are around, but at least he can be prepared.

A few more chats with the reporters. When the questions about "The Lord of the Rings" were pushed away without a trace, a huge cheer broke out on the red carpet-Master Yoda also came to the premiere, although It's just a robot figure, and the movement is very stiff, still pouring a lot of oil on the fan's enthusiasm. Then Adrian and Lucas entered the theater together.

Like all premieres, most of the guests were talking and laughing in the lobby at this time, and waited in time to queue up for admission. Adrian accompanied Lucas to say hello to several important actors, such as Liam Nissen, who played Quentin? King, and Ivan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan - Lucas chose them to appear .

"Oh, why didn’t the respected Queen Amidala come to the scene?" Adrian suddenly asked in a joke after chatting with them.

"Her Majesty is going to take the exam. Her goal is Ivy, she can't be distracted, so she didn't come." Lucas replied humorously along his words.

Actually, Adrian has known for a long time that Natalie will not come to the premiere of "The Threat of Ghosts". After all, he has been in contact with Natalie. Such a thing cannot be known to Lucas later. The reason why I ask this now is that he wanted to show that he couldn’t care less that one of the protagonists didn’t show up, and then... he wanted to ask for evidence.

Yes, for verification, Natalie said on the phone that because she is graduating soon and her goal is Harvard, she must concentrate on the SAT and AP exams, and naturally cannot attend the premiere. With her kind of character that she wants to be unique no matter what she does, it’s right to make such a decision, although she will become one of the most popular actresses in the United States after the release of Threat of the Ghost. , But she definitely doesn’t want others to think that she could enter Harvard by this movie and not her achievements, just...

Adrian has always had a wrong feeling. In fact, this feeling has a long history, but it can be ignored before, but now it is starting to become more obvious. Especially during this time, although he was busy with the production of "The Lord of the Rings", he also took the time to come to New York, but every time Natalie had something to evade, or left in a hurry.

"What a nasty feeling..." Adrian knocked on his head, "Maybe I should find a chance to talk to Natalie?"

Looking back, this situation should have started after the Academy Awards. She is likely to start to become a little dissatisfied, so it’s time to talk openly. But that's definitely not the case. Adrian still has a lot of things to do, and Natalie is still running for her studies. After the summer vacation, Harvard passed her application and lived in the university for two months. The filming of "The Lord of the Rings" You can also come to an end, and it’s not too late to sit down and talk.

He made up his mind. Adrian turned his attention to other people. Although Queen Amidala was not here, her substitute was there. Kaila, who was dressed up with her parents, was not ridiculed. Basically, she responded fairly, except when facing Adrian.

"Also...good, this is my first time... attending the premiere." Kayla twitched her head and dared not stare at him, a faint blush appeared on her cheek, and her eyes rolled with turning eyes. Shy and annoyed.

This is how she looks like on the plane-when the Adrian went to London, he invited the Knightley family-apparently not adjusted after that day, not only let a stranger touch, but also almost climaxed. Every time I think about the situation at that time, there will be a strange and unspeakable feeling in Keira's heart. Even if Adrian is not a stranger, but they are not very familiar with each other, how could they be so stupid at the time? !

So Adrian didn’t irritate her too much. Besides, her parents were nearby, and she left after a few words. Of course, the disappointed look in Keira’s eyes when he left was still in his eyes.

Next is the playing time of the movie. There is nothing to say. Compared with the version in memory, although the lens switching has changed in many places, it is generally the same. As for Amida Queen La's costume inspired by Japanese geisha, Adrian directly chose to ignore.

However, there are still some differences in the back. After Anakin participated in the car, the slave owner wanted to repent, so he gathered a lot of people who wanted to be strong, but he was repelled by Kui Gang and Obi-Wan. However, Anakin's mother was killed. The young Skywalker cried bitterly holding the mother's body, while Amidala, dressed as a maid, comforted aside.

At this time, the Sith apprentices also chased over. After some scuffle, Anakin was taken to Amidala’s spaceship, but failed to recapture his mother’s body, and finally in Amidala’s arms Crying until fainting.

Lucas fully accepted his suggestion, and deliberately laid the groundwork for the love between Anakin and Amidala. I believe that after the second part comes out, the relationship between the two will not be so abrupt. In addition, the life history of Anakin’s younger brother was modified so that Luke would not appear as an uncle when he was adopted.

The following plot returned to the original version. The protagonists returned to Naboo and raided the trade union. After Amidala came to unite with the local aborigines, the trade union was finally chased out. Qui-Gang was still killed in war, and Obi-Wan was Anakin was accepted as an apprentice. To be honest, if Natalie doesn't wear that weird costume, she is still quite beautiful and pretty, and she can still see the shadow of Matilda, but she is not here at the moment.

Of course, it would be more wonderful if you could admire and put her hand on her petite body...well, this is the aftereffect of playing more role-playing in New Zealand.

Although there is no doubt that Star Wars is popular, many Star Wars fans are also popular for the first time, but it may be the media’s "target audience of this film should be those 10-year-old children and long-term "Star Wars Fans", "Lucas will push Star Wars movies to the edge, so it seems that future Star Wars movies should be computer games" and other speeches, "The Ghost's" released in 2,900 theaters "Threat", although the box office that night exceeded 30 million, but the next day there was a sense of powerless succession, only increased by more than 10 million, so the final three days at the weekend only 60 million box office.

But everyone knows that this is just the beginning. The fans cultivated by Star Wars are more than that~IndoMTL.com~ Besides, it is not all good news for all media. It is only a matter of time before North America breaks 100 million. It takes 1 billion worldwide. It is also very possible.

This has nothing to do with Adrian. After attending the premiere of "Star Wars", the female secretary who came from Los Angeles resigned a series of invitations, and then took her to Hudson with a low profile. A luxury private yacht on the river participated in a low-key wedding held by a media mogul, yes, Murdoch and Deng Wendi's wedding.

Although some things have changed because of him, some things will not change, especially those who have brains and wrists, they always take the initiative to attack, so Deng Wendi still encountered Murdoch.

In the past year, Murdoch’s and his second wife’s divorce case has also been buoyant, although the media under the News Corporation have tried to exercise restraint. Although the Sun reported to be sarcasm, they claimed that even It’s his own boss, and the report should still be reported, but insiders know that they are just covering their ears.

But after all, he can’t control the media all over the world, so there are still a lot of unfavorable reports on him, making him want to be low-key. At this time, the media restrained its media from releasing goodwill and conducted "neutral" and "objective" discussions, so Adrian will only appear at this low-key wedding.
